This is an origin story i've been writing for an original superhero concept of mine, titled codename:zack. Here's a brief sypnosis of the story.
Edit Nov 27, 2010: I redid the story. It's now it a standard novel format, with extra scenes, and fixed dialogue. It's not finished yet, though. You can read it here:

Following a series of terrorist attacks on US Soil, the Government recruits a man named Ray, a washed-up loser, to create a living breathing weapon.
The weapon, dubbed "Zack" often spends his days alone, until he learns the awful truth about why he was created. Fleeing his creators, he finds himself in New York City, where he befriends a gang of youths and is enrolled in elementary school.
Little does he know, he is being hunted by his creators. Meanwhile, a rival gang named 'The Smiling Skulls' led by a sadistic young boy, are about to send New York into chaos..
